Body
- Pentax K10D SLR. I bought this camera with the intention of buying old used film lenses. Many I have been able to find relatively cheap. It's also weather proof which is perfect for being in the outdoors. I've been extremely happy with my choice.
- Pentax f3.5-5.6 18-55mm w/ Polarizing Filer. This is my all around basic lens. I love the filter for sunny days. It can really bring out vivid colors in the sky.
- Sigma Fisheye f2.8 16mm. This is probably my favorite Lens at the moment. It acts more like a wideangle lens than a fisheye on my camera. I love this lens for landscapes and mountains to really get a full feeling.
- Pentax Macro f2.8 50mm. This is one of my newer lenses. I haven't had the opportunity to play around with it too much yet, but it should be able to take some amazing close-ups.
- Soligor f4.5-5.6 80-200mm. This is my telephoto zoom lens. It works great for wildlife. It was my primary use in Denali Park. Not the best quality when fully zoomed, but it works.
- Soligor Telephoto f4.5 300mm. Another new lens. I bought the macro and the fisheye together used and the guy threw this in with it. I've only used it once so far, but I got some amazing detail on a bald eagle across the street. A tripod is a must have for this lens.
* Note: Digital cameras have a smaller sensor than a film camera. The digital lens equivelent is approximately 1.5x that of a film camera (for the Pentax K10D). This explains why the 16mm "fisheye" lens is actually more like a 24mm wideangle lens on my Pentax. The 300mm telephoto lens is more like a 450mm lens. You lose on the wide angle end and gain on the telephoto end.
